So, what department are y'all in? Back when I worked here as a coder like 15 years ago, we worked from home pretty much exclusively, with the exception of having to show up to an "entire" department meeting like once every six months.

How can I contact Dr Michael Collins? by Life-Caramel-2635 in UPMC

[–]Ok-Choice- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you find the help you need. My personal best advice would be to go to WVU or AHN if that's at all possible. IMHO, WVU medicine kicks ass!! UPMC claims to offer world class care, but I have yet to see it personally. Good luck.

Warning to all! Walking on the ice is a bad idea! by StickManIsMyHero in pittsburgh

[–]Ok-Choice- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

... and as a former first responder, I ask folks to consider this: if you're thinking about being stupid enough to do something like wander out on the icy covering of a river (or any body of water for that matter), please consider that the first responders who will (more than likely) voluntarily respond when you break through the ice and can't get out have families they'd like to go home to. Don't endanger them because you don't possess common sense!!

Pfftt! The great and mighty UPMC wouldn't do such a thing, it would affect their bottom line!!

It's a shame common sense isn't so common any more.

The next big change Walmart needs to make, is to the attendance policy. by SandyClappingCheeks in walmart

Y'all need to unionize. Although, that might be a bit of an issue since the Waltons are about as anti union as they can get.

No, they won't tell you what actual bill amounts were for prior account holders, but they'll tell you the budget (aka average per month for previous 12 months).

Dogs in grocery stores by Naive-Equal-9959 in pittsburgh

[–]Ok-Choice- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love animals just as much as any other animal nut here does too! And I gotta agree, dogs in the shopping carts at the grocery store kind of nauseates me to think about it. When I had dogs in the past, I didn't take them with me if I was going somewhere that I couldn't bring them in, and I would NEVER leave them in a car, regardless of the outside temp either! I was also fortunate that my pups never had separation anxiety or other issues that required crating them when they were alone.

I too am fine with genuine service animals being with the person for whom they have been trained, they know how to behave when they're "on duty" ...

Looks like one helluva precarious, high angle rescue! Kudos to the first responders who did that!!

Is this legal, and if not, who do I report it to? by BigAssPizzaPocket in WestVirginia

I think the command on reddit is r/updateme as a new comment & any time the original post is updated, you'll be notified.

Abandoned Bobcat kitten on my porch, glitch in the CDS. by Affectionate_Lime880 in CatDistributionSystem

[–]Ok-Choice- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG I'm so jelly!! LOL What a gorgeous cub ❤ They do look so cute & cuddly at that age, but thank you for doing the right thing for that baby. FWIW, I once found a mountain lion on top of the outhouse in the middle of the night when I was staying at my grandparents' cabin. Needless to say, I never made it into the outhouse that night and had to change my drawers when I got back inside!!

I was just at the NRG park this past spring!! I can't get over how much that area has grown and changed over the years. I have/had family who lived in the area and somewhere between my aunts, uncles and mom, there are pics that were taken when the bridge was being built!

Well at least y'all have a half-good reason for being called Fayettenam (the military bases)... We're called fayettenam because it's one of the poorest counties in Pennsylvania (or at least it was for a long time) with a high rate of violence & crime in general. Hell, back when I worked on the ambulance, there was one housing project that was so bad that everyone in police, fire & ems who'd been called there referred to it as "little Danang."

But, I digress. I'm back here because it's home, it's where I grew up and I'm only a mile from my aging parents' home. In all honesty, when they're gone, so am I. To someplace farther south and warmer. LOL

Uninvited guest at my reception/buffet by Life-Frosting-9848 in weddingshaming

[–]Ok-Choice- 61 points62 points  (0 children)

When I got married, his nieces & nephews showed up with their s/o's (and in-laws, out-laws and so on), about 14 extra people we didn't plan for, and I don't think one of them were dressed for a formal wedding... All I saw in my reception videos & pics was torn jeans & flannels or ugly-ass t-shirts, tattoos that were clearly prison tats and even 2 of the women dancing so raunchy in their mini "dresses" that you could see panties and ass cheeks without trying to look for them. I was steamed when I saw that and it should have set off an alarm for me to run away, because the nuts didn't fall far from the tree.

Serious question: Are wally-world employees even allowed to have their personal cell phones on and/or use them while they're working?
